Though only a minute, this video shared on President Uchtdorf's Facebook page sums up perfectly why he and all Church members love and sustain our beloved prophet, and how we, like him, can reach out and love and uplift all those we come into contact with, despite our differences.
Not long ago, a man I know was caught in a web of lies and moral deceit. For some time, he had lived a double life—seemingly devout and committed to the gospel while at home with his wife and children, but while away on frequent business trips, he engaged in serious immorality. As a consequence, he lost his membership in the Church and began a difficult repentance process.
Recently, The Daily Universe reached out on Facebook to see what feedback current and former BYU students might have about off-campus housing. The post asked whether people have "had issues with off-campus housing," adding, "Whether it's with management, maintenance, or anything else, we want to hear from you!"
Part of our mission at Magnify is to help each other be a force for good in our own spheres of influence. Sometimes that happens in ways we least expect it to. Celeste Mergens, the founder of Days for Girls, grew up in poverty. It was her understanding of what children going hungry felt like that led her first to her knees, and then to fill a need. She believes that the things you go through don't define you, but they can always bless you. Her superpower? Gratitude, and that's how she has learned to ask the right questions, listen when others are speaking, and lead with assuredness.
With the closing of four of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ missionary training centers in Spain, Chile, Argentina and the Dominican Republic, one might expect a subsequent decrease in the number of missionaries being trained at international locations.
Recently, I saw a creative idea on Facebook about how to incorporate Come, Follow Me into ordinary, daily. Jessica Dyer posted that she creates a topic jar, writing down headings or questions from each weeks' lesson, and pulls out a slip of paper at dinner or other random times through the week.
A few years ago, I was inspired to start keeping a gratitude journal. I had been regularly keeping a journal anyway, but I decided to make gratitude a deliberate part of that daily journal entry. Every day, I would take a moment and list a few things I was thankful for. I would ask myself the question:
I read with dismay The Tribune’s front-page story of Dec. 14 on a survey reporting the overwhelming preference of my fellow Mormons for the Republican Party. While I applaud state Democratic party chairman Jim Dabakis’ attempts to make his party more palatable to Mormon voters, I doubt it will work. Until Mormon voters have a better understanding of Democratic principles, they will continue in lock step with their party.
There has been heated speculation about what it will mean to have a Mormon in the White House. Because Mormons believe their “president” — the head of their Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — is God’s prophet on earth, will a Mormon president of the United States be bound to obey whatever this man says? Again, Americans do not seem much astir about such things. Even so, with these concerns laid aside, many voters might not recognize an often undervalued feature of the faith: How it might help a Mormon lead in the Oval Office. This possibility arises from the emphasis the faith places upon patriotism, civic duty and morality in government — American government in particular.
